I'm talking about stone (or wood) prehistoric circles like stonehenge. The ones I have seen are circular or ellipses.

My 4 year old son asked the other day when he saw a picture of one in a book. "Are there any square circles?" I don't know if there are. Are there any square, triangular or other shaped ones? And if there aren't, why not?

I think it's a very good question and raises a lot of important issues.

Are there are sources of language or slang used in the 1800s--in particular, the war of 1812, that are on the internet? I've searched around and couldn't find any.

The Scandinvian word "OMMERIKA" means the farthest away place. Lumber found( in Iceland or Greenland) in an old ship can be dated way before Columbus and Amerigo. Since it was 250 miles to land in North America and way farther to Europe it can be concluded that the wood came from the North American Continent. SO, THE VIKINGS were here first and the sailors LINGO at the time referred to a land they called 'OMMERIKA". What do you think?? Be Fair,,not predjudice.

Many native americans have common last names, but they had their own language. I was wondering how they ended up with those last names if they didnt speak english.

I have heard from some strong sources that Spartans were heavy on pederasty, and from similarly strong sources that they are singled out from most other Greek states in the fact that they didn't practice it.
Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartan_pederasty,
and this site : http://www.arikah.com/encyclopedia/Pederasty_in_ancient_Greece#Sparta
talks of spartan pederasty, saying that Spartans were the first to do nude athletics and that man-boy relationships were a part of the Spartan Agoge.

However, these two sites about women's rights in Ancient Greece note that practice of Pederasty was reported as flat out non-existent in Sparta by Xenophon, and quotes Aristotle in saying that homosexuality was not present.

Is there an explination for this confliction, or is one wrong?

As WW2 was reaching its end, the Americans dropped a atomic bomb on Japan...2 bombings later, 2 days had passed and Japan surrendered.

They say this was to speed up the end of the war but was it justified...ur answers are much apreciated as I would like your views before I write a paper on it.
